Half Empty or Half Full
Is the bowl half empty or half full
If the contents reach halfway?
Which of the choices would you choose?
Half empty I would say.
I view the bowl half empty, for
I spotted a widening hole,
Where the contents have been leaking out
From the bottom of the bowl.
An analogy here I'd like to make.
Let the bowl stand for our nation.
When we vision what is happening now,
Could it be an aberration?
The bowl was filled up to the brim
with the contents of our legacy-
Belief and faith in a living God,
with freedom and integrity
Honor , justice, hope for man
Are seeping through the hole
Punched out by those who live within
Who would destroy this bowl.
Is America witnessing now a scene
Unfold before our eyes.
Of being led on the primrose path
Straight to our own demise?
